G
[Verse 1]
G D7 G
We were camped on the plains at the head of the Cimmaron
G Em D
When along came a stranger and stopped to arger some.
G Bm C G
He looked so very very foolish that we began to look around,
G D7 G
We thought he was a greenhorn that had just escaped from town.
G D7 G
We asked him if he had he been to breakfast; he hadn't had a sniff;
G Em D
So we opened up the chuck-box and told him help himself.
G Bm C G
He took a little beefsteak and some biscuits and some beans,
G D7 G
And then began to talk and tell about foreign kings and queens,
[Verse 2]
G D7 G
He talked about the Spanish War and fighting on on the seas
G Em D
With guns as big as beef steers and ramrods big as trees,
G Bm C G
And about old Paul Jones, a fighting son of a gun,
G D7 G
And he said he was the grittiest cuss that ever pulled a gun.
G D7 G
Such an educated feller, his thoughts just come in herds,
G Em D
He astonished all them cowboys with them jaw-breaking words.
G Bm C G
He just kept right on talking till he made the boys all sick
G D7 G
And they began to look around just how to play a trick.
[Verse 3]
G D7 G
He said he had lost his job out upon the Santa Fe
G Em D
And was going across the plains to strike the 7-D.
G Bm C G
But he didn't say how come it, just some trouble with his boss,
G D7 G
But said he'd like to borrow a nice fat saddle hoss.
G D7 G
This tickled all the boys to death; we laughed down in their sleeves
G Em D
Said that he could have a horse as fresh as he would please.
G Bm C G
So shorty grabbed a lasso and he roped the Zebra Dun
G D7 G
And led him to the stranger as we waited for the fun.
[Verse 4]
G D7 G
Now Old Dunny was an outlaw he had grown so awful wild
G Em D
He could paw the white out of the moon every jump for a mile.
G Bm C G
And he always stood right still, just like he didn't know
G D7 G
Until he was saddled and ready for to go.
G D7 G
Now the stranger hit the saddle, and old Dunny quit the earth,
G Em D
He went straight up in the air for all that he was worth.
G Bm C G
A-bawlin and a-squalin, and having a wall-eyed fit,
G D7 G
With his hind feet perpendicular, and his front ones in the bit.
[Verse 5]
G D7 G
Now we could see the tops of trees beneath him every jump,
G Em D
But the stranger he was growed there just like the camel's hump;
G Bm C G
And he sat up there upon him and curled his black moustache,
G D7 G
Just like a summer boarder a-waiting for his hash.
G D7 G
Now he thumped him in the shoulders and spurred him when he whirled,
G Em D
He showed us flunky punchers he's the wolf of this old world.
G Bm C G
and when he had dismounted once again upon the ground,
G D7 G
Why we knew he was a thoroughbred and not a gent from town.
[Verse 6]
G D7 G
Now the boss he was standing and a watching all the show,
G Em D
He walks right up to him and he asks him not to go
G Bm C G
"If you can use the lasso like you rode the Zebra Dun,
G D7 G
Then you're the man I've looked for ever since the year of one."
G D7 G
Well he could use a lasso and he didn't do it slow;
G Em D
The cattle they stampeded he was always on the go.
G Bm C G
D one thing and a sure thing that I learned since I was born,
G D7 G
Every educated feller he ain't a plumb greenhorn!
